6:00 p.m. D.A. Headquarters'- Harry's Room

Ps." Nightshade, do you think I should avoid them?" asked Harry.

Ps." No. I think its best if you allow them to get close to you. I also think its best you admit your feelings for Mistress Hermione."

Ps." Can you just let that go…..if I do get closer to my parents they might end up like Cedric. Wait a minute. What if…."

Ps." What's wrong Master?"

Ps." The letter said that there were other people who were returning. My parents returned. What if Cedric's back too. What if some of our fallen members are also back." said Harry. Before Nightshade could answer there came a knock at his door.

"Come in." said Harry. Hermione walked in.

"I gave your parents and Sirius there marks, made sure they signed this paper, and found them some rooms. Is something wrong, Harry?" asked Hermione seeing his troubled face.

"I want some of our Hawks and Doves to go check some graves." replied Harry.

"Whose graves do you want them to check?" asked Hermione.

"All of are fallen member's graves and Cedric's grave." answered Harry.

"I'll get right on that, but there's something you might want to know." said Hermione.

"What is it?" asked Harry.

"Your parents, Sirius, and Remus asked for rooms close to yours. I gave them rooms' right across from yours." answered Hermione. Harry groaned. Another knock came at his door.

"Come in." said Harry. His parents and Sirius came in. He looked at Hermione who seemed to be pleading with him to give them a chance.

"What do you want?" asked Harry.

"We missed out on seventeen years of your life, so of course were going to want to be as close to you as possible." said Lily. Harry had the urge to bang his head on his desk but was determined to resist.

"Why is it so dark in here?" asked James. Harry's room looked more like an office. Harry was sitting at a desk piled with books and paperwork, the walls were lined with bookshelves, and there were books floating around. His desk was towards the back of the room. He had a black sofa and a black loveseat placed in front of his desk. There were two chairs in the corner with a small table placed in between them. There were piles of books on the ground as well. At the back of the room was a door. The office was lit with a few candles. It got darker the closer you got to Harry.

"Do you have anymore candles or a light switch or anything?" asked Sirius.

"No." said Harry. Hermione left to go give out orders and Remus came in.

"Your office seems to get darker every time I come in here." said Remus.

"Is that a snake?" asked Sirius. Nightshade was wrapping herself around Harry.

"This is Nightshade." said Harry. Harry really didn't feel like talking to them, and was about to tell them to leave when James started to say something.

"Harry we're not going to leave until you talk to us." said James sitting down on the sofa.

"Fine with me." said Harry and he went back to his work.

"Do you have any other pets Harry?" asked Lily.

"Yes." said Harry without even looking at her. He made sure to sound as cold as possible.

"Really, what is it?" asked Sirius.

"I have a cat and a bat." answered Harry.

"That rhymed." said Sirius

"Thank you Captain Obvious. When did you get a cat, Harry?" asked Remus.

"She's an early birthday gift from Hermione." said Harry. He pointed to the loveseat. At first they didn't see anything then two eyes appeared. His cat was black and had green eyes like Harry's. She blended in with the couch and wasn't even noticeable unless she opened her eyes.

"What's her name?" asked James.

"Jade." answered Harry.

"What about your bat?" asked Sirius.

"What about him."

"What's his name? Remus didn't tells us much about him."

"His name is Shade. He was gift I got for my seventeen birthday."

"Where is he? I want to see him!" said Sirius.

"Calm down. He's out right now." said Harry. Sirius pouted and sat down next to Jade.

"Who gave him to you?" asked James

"Hermione."

"She gave you a bat and a cat. I rhymed!" said Sirius. They all just stared at him.

"I can't get anything done with you here. I'm going to bed." said Harry. He got up with Nightshade and went to the back of the room.

"But its only 6:13." said James. Harry didn't answer him. His cat followed him through the door at the back of the room. Once his cat was inside he slammed the door.

"That was rude." said Lily.

"Harry probably hasn't been to sleep for awhile now. The higher the rank in the D.A. the more responsibility. It's probably best we leave him be." said Remus. They decided to have a look around Harry's office.

"He has so many books." said Lily in amassment.

"How does he make these books float around?" asked Sirius.

"Actually, I did that." said Hermione. They all jumped. They hand't even realized she came in. Hermione took a seat behind Harry's desk and started reading.

"You sure help Harry out a lot." said James.

"I guess."

"What are you doing now?" asked Lily.

"Research. We need to find the Horcruxes. Until we find them all we can't beat Voldemort."

"Why is Harry so important to this war?" asked Lily, James, and Sirius at the same time.

"Did you guys plan that. It isn't my place to say but Harry probably won't tell you so I'll explain. A prophecy said that Harry's the only one who can defeat Voldemort. That's why Dumbledore had you go into hiding when Harry was a baby. That's why Voldemort has tried to kill him on so many occasions." said Hermione. Lily, James, and Sirius were shocked.

"I didn't think it was my place to say." said Remus.

"Don't worry about it. Even if you can't kill Voldemort you can help Harry destroy him. He's not alone in this fight. We're all in this together." said Hermione.

"Your right. We can be here for Harry. We can help find these Horcruxes and help Harry beat him." said Lily. Remus, Sirius, and James decided it best to leave so Hermione could concentrate.

"Hermione you really do a lot for Harry." said Lily.

"I guess you could say I'm his seconded in command."

"You seem to care about him a lot as well." said Lily. Lily got up and walked towards the door.

"Of course I do. He is my best friend." said Hermione.

"Are you sure there isn't something more to your relationship." said Lily. With that said, Lily left. Hermione smiled.

Mika: That's it for today.

Rose: We're begging you-

Both: REVIEW!!!
